Kyle Richards revealed that she had completed the transfer of the $18 million land once co-owned with Mauricio Umansky and confirmed she would keep all the main assets as their divorce enters its final stages a stunning move that has officially removed Mauricio from the real estate portfolio he had been attached to for the last 27 years and left fans reeling over the cold finality of the split
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made the revelation during a private but confirmed briefing with legal insiders late Monday shocking longtime followers of the couple who had held out hope for reconciliation despite months of swirling rumors and emotional distancing
According to sources close to the situation Kyle quietly finalized the transfer of the multi-million dollar estate into her sole ownership weeks ago ensuring that Mauricio no longer holds any legal or financial claim to the crown jewel of their shared property empire a move insiders say was not disclosed to Mauricio until paperwork had already been filed
“Kyle acted swiftly and decisively” one legal source told DailyMail+ “She wanted to secure her position before the final phase of the divorce and that meant making sure Mauricio had no leverage left regarding property or joint holdings”
The $18 million land parcel reportedly located in a highly coveted Beverly Hills enclave had long been a symbol of the couple’s financial success and was frequently featured on RHOBH as part of their seemingly glamorous lifestyle but behind the scenes sources say the property had become a major sticking point in settlement negotiations
Mauricio who once proudly built The Agency into one of LA’s most powerful real estate firms is said to be blindsided by the timing and secrecy of the transfer one friend of his revealing that he “never believed Kyle would move without at least a conversation first”
“He’s devastated” the source said “It’s not just about the money it’s about the history about feeling like the last 27 years meant nothing now that it’s all being stripped away without warning”
Adding fuel to the fire Kyle’s legal team is believed to have been working quietly for months building the framework to ensure that the main assets including the $18 million estate would remain under her control regardless of the divorce outcome and while Mauricio had previously insisted that the split was amicable this latest move has left insiders questioning just how mutual the separation really is
Fans have also begun piecing together clues with some noting that Kyle had been unusually quiet on social media about her real estate dealings while simultaneously posting photos from lavish getaways and high-profile events raising suspicions that she had something to hide
Mauricio has not made any public statements since the revelation but sources close to him describe him as “shocked and disoriented” by how swiftly Kyle moved to eliminate him from the real estate he helped secure maintain and build over nearly three decades
As the final documents for their divorce are expected to be filed within weeks insiders say this may just be the beginning of a more bitter unraveling with several financial disclosures still pending and questions emerging over whether other shared assets have already been discreetly reassigned
For now Kyle appears firmly in control of both the narrative and the numbers sending a clear message that her post-Mauricio life will be one of independence ownership and no shared title
